Note: I did not see the full-size image when I made the video, just the cropped image that’s in the original article (link below). The article did not mention that they were using a crop. I found the full image while producing the video. I take back my remarks about the Cuba image being of poor quality now that I’ve seen the full image. I included the full image in the video.

Excellent discussion. Without mentioning this scandal, Jason Lanier had a similar rant about the state of the photographic industry and some photographers reliance on photoshop and other manipulative software. He talked heavily about “getting it right in the camera,” and just doing minor adjustments in LR when necessary.
So my call for my hobby this year is to do a better job of betting it right in camera. To that end, I even bought a light meter for incident readings.
